N.W.l ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH MEMBERS

OF THE

SWISS ALPINE CLUB

The Annual Report, Accounts and Balance Sheet for 1933.

THE OBJECTS OF THE ASSOCIATION, &c. The Association of British Members of the Swiss Alpine Club was founded in 1909, with the main object of encourag­ ing climbers and walkers in this country to join that Club. The S.A.C. (to give it its usual abbreviation) is nearly as old as the Alpine Club itself, and for over half a century has gone on steadily with its work of making the Alps accessible to climbers and others, in particular by building the 90 or more Club Huts which now exist. Before this Association came into being there had been many British members of the Club. But these were the exceptions rather than the rule, partly because the average British climber had no idea how to join, and partly because it did not occur to him that there was any point in doing so. But among those who were members, there were some who felt that such a state of affairs ought not to continue; that if our climbers used the huts, they should do something to help to maintain them, and that by some means it should be made easy to join the S.A.C. The energy of the late Mr. J. A. B. Bruce created a strong Committee, which undertook this matter and brought this Association into being under the late Mr. Clinton Dent as President. Within two years of the start there were 300 members and their number has continued to grow. The result of our activities is that the proportion of our countrymen who climb in the Alps and are now members of the S.A.C. is very large, and most of them are also members of this Association. At the same time it was felt that there was need for a rallying point over here for these “ clubists,” and as it is not possible, by the rules of the S.A.C., for a section to be 2 formed outside Switzerland, as was the case with the D.Oe.A.V. (which had a section at Manchester at one time), the Association acquired a room in which its members could meet together, and took upon itself something of the functions of a Club. All these arrangements were only undertaken after consultation with the Central Committee of the S.A.C., and the latter cordially welcomed the enter­ prise. In addition, as it was felt that we British climbers owed Switzerland something for past remissness, the fund to build the Britannia Hut was started and the building successfully carried through by 1912. The Association has been able, in many ways, to co­ operate with our Swiss colleagues, and at times to repre­ sent to them our views on mountaineering matters. On the other hand, the Central Committee has always looked on us with the greatest favour and has dealt very cordially with anything we have put before it. The number of members is now 546, and in size is, with the exception of the Alpine Club, probably the largest club interested mainly in mountaineering in these islands. An analysis of the list of members shows their distri­ bution among the various sections to be as follows: — Atels 7 Grindelwald 22 Berne 9 Interlaken 11 Diablerets 99 Monte Rosa .. 40 Geneva...... 249 Oberhasli • 23 Other Sections 32. The membership of the Swiss Alpine Club itself is now approaching 25,000 in about 80 sections.

NEW MEMBERS.

14 new members have joined during the past year, but 29 have resigned or died. It is hoped that members will make every effort to secure new candidates for the S.A.C. and the Association. 3 The numbers are now : — December 31st, 1933 575 Less Resignations, Deaths, etc., during 1933 ... 29

Total, January 1st, 1934 ... 546

Of these, 156 are Life Members, 13 Honorary Members, 336 Ordinary Members, and 41 on the Retired List.

Quite apart from the sentimental feeling that a member of the S.A.C. is helping mountaineers in the country in which he is a guest to add to the amenities of the sport, the definite material advantages are set out below.

Rights in thf. S.A.C. Huts. Members of the Club, together with their wives, have priority of right to the sleeping places and in many huts there is a room for members only; next after members comes the ladies’ Swiss Club, and then the kindred clubs, such as the French A.C. Anyone else is really in a club hut on sufferance. In addition a member pays, in most huts, only i franc per night, and a non-member 3 francs. Those who intend to climb have priority over others in the same category. A member may introduce his wife and children (under 20 years of age) on the same terms as himself. It is worth remembering, in connection with projected visits to huts that while a Section may reserve a hut for its members to the extent of three-quarters of its capacity only, one-quarter is always available for others of the S.A.C. It is generally worth the trouble before going to a hut to ascertain from a local hotel-keeper whether a hut is so reserved, and if it is, to go up there early in the day. As a rule these reservations may not be made on Saturdays and Sundays. It is when one comes down to a hut on a day when it has been reserved, that the advantages of membership are most precious. A few of the huts in Switzerland do not belong to the S.A.C., but as a rule these are run in close alliance with that Club and the special regulations make little difference to members of the S.A.C.

Reductions on Railways. But the matter which, perhaps, makes the greatest appeal to many people is the advantages due to the large reductions made to members on the mountain railways 6 (except in the Engadine). In taking a holiday in some districts a member saves, in these reductions, considerably more than his subscription to the Club. For convenience we publish the official list of the reductions, somewhat abbreviated, from “ Die Alpen,” February, 1933. These reductions, as a rule, apply only to a member, and do not include his wife and chiledren. 50% Aigle-Leysin; Aigle-Sepey-Diablerets; Arth-Rigi (in­ cludes wife and children); Brunnen-Morschach-Axen- stein; Chantarella-Corviglia; Furka-Oberalp; Gerschni- alp (33% only on return tickets and no reduction on the descent); Gornergrat; Interlaken-Heimwehfluh; Montreux-Glion, Territet-Glion, and Glion-Rochers de Naye; Oberalp (see Furka); Ritom; Stanserhorn; Visp- Zermatt. 40% Bex-Gryon-Villars and Villars Chesieres-Bretaye (Chamossaire); Sierre-Montana-Vermala. 33% Schollenen. 31% Nyon-St. Cergue-Morez. 30% Jungfrau; Leukerbad; Martigny-Chatelard; Monthey- Champery-Morgins. 25% Berner Oberland; Chamonix-Montanvers; Lauterbrun- nen-Miirren; Miirren-Allmendhubel (Seilbahn); Muottas- Muraigl; Rechtsufrige Lake of Thun Railway (for the complete circuit Thun-Interlaken); Schynige Platte; Wengernalp. 20% Braunwald; Martigny-Orsieres; Stansstad-Engelberg (10% only on return tickets); Lake of Thun to Beaten- berg; Mont Blanc (St. Gervais to Glacier de BionnassayJ. 15% Niesen. There are also minor reductions in connection with motor­ cars in one or two places. To obtain these reductions it is absolutely necessary to present the card of membership when booking. It is worth noting that the reductions are mosdy available to members of the corresponding Ladies’ Swiss 7 Alpine Club, so that the old feminine grievance that only the men got any reductions is now a thing of the past, if ladies will join their Swiss Club. In this connection, the Hon. Secretaries may be able to advise members how their friends of the other sex may join the ladies’ club, which does not seem to be so well known as it might be. We may add that the badge of the ladies’ club is a particularly attractive one.

HOW TO JOIN THE SWISS ALPINE CLUB.

It is often thought by non-members that some qualifi­ cation is necessary to join the S.A.C. This is not the case. Anyone can join who can find a proposer and a seconder. The following is the procedure for anyone who wishes to join: — Write to the Hon. Treasurer, Mr. C. T. Lehmann, 28, Monument Street, E.C.3, or to one of the Hon. Secretaries (letters should be marked S.A.C. on the envelope); in this letter the writer should state whether he wishes to join a French, German, or Italian-speaking section. Arrangements will then be made for the joining of a particular section, and an entrance form will be sent. If the aspirant has no one to propose or second him, suitable arrangements will be made to obviate this difficulty. The entrance form, when filled in, must be returned in all cases to Mr. Lehmann, together with a small photograph, pass­ port size, and the necessary subscription and entrance fee. For the benefit of those who leave things until the last moment, we would point out that arrangements have been made w'hereby members of the Geneva and the Diablerets Sections (both of which are French-speaking Sections) can be enrolled at this end. This takes a week or ten days. Normally it takes about two months, as in the case of all other sections it is necessary to communicate with the local Committees. 8 A list of the principal sections, together with their sub­ scriptions, will be found at the end of this report. In addition, the subscription to the Association is £i for Town members and ios. for Country members. A Country member is defined under the Rules as being a member who resides outside a radius of 50 miles of Charing Cross. There is no entrance fee. Anyone who joins the Association may pay through Mr. Lehmann by sending him a Banker’s Order, which is the most convenient way, or by remitting him each January the necessary subscription. The Association is willing to arrange for anyone to join the S.A.C., but only continues the remittances to Switzer­ land for those who join the Association as well. Life membership of the Association costs £i 8s. for Town mem­ bers and £\ 4s. for Country members.

CARDS OF MEMBERSHIP OF THE S.A.C. The Swiss Alpine Club Membership Card (the buff card with the member’s photograph inside) is usually issued every three years, but the new Central Committee has decided that the old cards shall continue to be available until further notice, provided the gummed slip with the signature of the President of the Central Committee, which has just been issued, is affixed to the lower half of the inside cover. It is very necessary for all members to be careful about this. Instead of the coloured cards issued by the various Sections as receipt for the current year’s subscription, membership cards have to be provided with the gummed slip (measuring about 3^ x i| inches), bearing the date of year of issue. This gummed slip must be affixed to the inside of the card over the 1933 slip, and members are earnestly requested to stick it in as soon as they receive it. Last year quite a number of members forgot to do so and only noticed the imperfection of their membership card when about to go to Switzerland, and then hastily appealed for assistance to the Hon. Treasurer, who has not always a stock of these receipt slips, seeing that each Section only sends him as many slips as there are members. 9 Loss of Membership Card or Badge.—It is inevitable that someone or other should lose his card or badge, and this is most likely to be discovered at holiday times. If such a loss occur, it is best for the member concerned to write direct to his Section Treasurer, as our own officials are quite likely to be away at such a time, and in any case can only refer the matter to Switzerland. To avoid delay a photograph should be sent at the same time if it be the membership card that has been lost. Members of the Geneva, Diablerets and Interlaken Sections, however, can obtain new membership cards and badges straight away from the Hon. Treasurer’s office. Price for new membership card is i/-. The price of a new badge is 2/-. OFFICERS AND COMMITTEE. Mr. A. N. Andrews has succeeded Mr. W. M. Roberts as President, and Mr. Roberts has been elected a Vice-President. The remaining Vice-Presidents and all the other officers were re-elected. The following members of the Com­ mittee retired, having completed their term of office: Wing- Commander E. B. Beauman and Messrs. H. E. G. Burls, W. E. Herbert and John Poole. The resulting vacancies were filled by the election of Major E. R. Culverwell (Geneva) and Messrs. W. J. Foster (Grindelwald), A. A. Galloway (Monte Rosa) and R. P. Mears (Geneva). FINANCE. As expected the financial result of 1933 is not as favourable as 1932, the profit for the year amounting only to ^84 19s. 9d., as compared with ^112 2s. yd. for 1932. This is accounted for partly by the reduced membership and partly by the fact that the rate of exchange fell rather rapidly from the time the notices were sent out, and that considerable loss was incurred on the subscriptions of those members who did not pay before January 31st. Our accumulated revenue stands at ^588 11s. nd. Life membership account ...... ^736 10s. od. We have invested a further £200 in Victory Bonds, and the nominal value of our investments to-day is ^1,300; but of course the actual value is considerably more. 10 We are glad to say that the Geneva and Diablerets Sec­ tions sent us their usual contributions. The Hon. Treasurer would remind Members that payment by January 31st considerably facilitates the work, and ensures Members getting copies of Les Alpes regularly.

ANNUAL DONATION FROM GENEVA SECTION, The Geneva Section has contributed JA20 towards the expenses of the Association so that members of the S.A.C. resident in this country may obtain, out of the subscriptions paid by them, some of the advantages which their Swiss colleagues enjoy, but from which we are debarred by living in this country.

THE HONORARY SECRETARIES. The addresses of the Hon. Secretaries will be found inside the cover. All communications concerning the Associa­ tion Meetings should be sent to Mr. M. N. Clarke ; other communications may be made to either Secretary. THE HONORARY TREASURER. All communications concerning subscrip­ tions should be sent to the Hon. Treasurer, Mr. C. T. Lehmann, 28, Monument Street, E.C.3. Telephone : Royal 2100. QUALIFICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP. The necessary qualification for membership of the Association is membership of the Swiss Alpine Club but life members of the Association who have retired from the S.A.C. may remain as members of the Association, but they may not hold office or vote at meetings. SUBSCRIPTIONS. The Association undertakes to collect and forward members’ subscriptions to Switzerland, but it is a very 11 great convenience and saving of trouble to the Honorary Treasurer if members give him a Banker’s Order for what­ ever is due to their section, Those who do not do so should take care to send their subscriptions in promptly on January ist, as the sections expect early payment and are apt to strike late payers out of their lists early in the year.

THE CLUB ROOM AND LIBRARY. The Library and Club Room are now at Room 121 at the Hotel Great Central. This room, which is avail­ able at all times, is on the first floor, and is best reached by the entrance from Marylebone Station. The key may be obtained on application to the Reception Office. Members are particularly requested not to forget to return the key to the Reception Office before they leave the Hotel. A list of books in the Library is printed elsewhere in this Report, and the Hon. Librarian will be glad of suggestions as to additions. Books may be borrowed and any borrower should enter his name in the book provided for the purpose. Guide books and Maps, how­ ever, are not to be taken away.

LIST OF MEETINGS DURING 1934. Informal Dinners will be held on the undermentioned dates, being the fourth Wednesday in each month, at the Hotel Great Central at 7.30 p.m. Morning Dress.

The Annual Dinner has been provisionally fixed for Wed­ nesday, November 28th. Further details of these fixtures will be announced later. 13

CLUB NOTES. A good many of our members got out to the Alps this year, probably more than last year; but the depreciation of our currency is keeping many people from Switzerland. After two seasons, winter and summer, of financial stringency, it is possible to review the situation, as the franc at is. 2d. affects the welfare of the Association to a noticeable extent. We can only hope that somehow things will come out right in the future, although no one with authority or with knowledge ventures to suggest the immediate ameliora­ tion of the position. We recognise with gratitude the efforts made bv many Swiss hotel keepers and by the railways to retain their British clients. In many hotels the “ pension ” rates have been materially lowered, and 8-franc pensions now exist in places where they were till recently much higher, and 11 where we have paid 14 is quite common. The rail­ ways have a special reduction of 30 per cent, in Switzerland but, alas!—the main part of the cost of a ticket to the Ober- land or the Valais is not the Swiss part. Experience shows that, so long as one is “en pension” the cost of a holiday in Switzerland is not yet quite prohibitive, but there are still many items in the expenses which have not altered. Most of the “extras” are quite unchanged. The guides’ tariffs, which in recent years have tended to increase, have scarcely been touched except now and then by arrangement. This is a very serious matter for our younger climbers, who have not experience enough to go without, and one cannot help fear­ ing whether there may not arise a tendency on the part of some youngsters to chance it. But one of the outstanding items of expense is the matter of afternoon teas and baths— the latter in particular—and one cannot help feeling that the strong hotel-keepers associations would do well to exert their influence in trying to get these charges reduced. The empti­ ness of the tea-shops was quite noticeable, and it seems short­ sighted policy to have a very few customers at an inflated price rather than many at a smaller one. The Swiss tradesmen are so accustomed to regarding English people as rich, that they have not grasped that this is no longer true. In fact, in conversation with quite ex- 14 perienced and intelligent shop-keepers, it was clear that some people simply would not believe that the exchange had really hit us hard, despite the fact that there was a very obvious dearth of visitors from our country. The matter of the guides tariffs ought to be taken in hand, for, even without a depreciated pound, many of the tariffs are absurdly high, and uneven. The chief danger to the tourist traffic in Switzerland is the competition of Austria, where despite an adverse exchange it is ever so much cheaper for English tourists. We do not believe that this competition is fully recognised in Switzer­ land. This winter the writer has been very much struck by the number he has met who are going to Austria solely because of the matter of expense, and also by the number who have the intention of giving Switzerland a miss next year. If the British tourist traffic is worth keeping, it will not be kept by the efforts of the hotels and railways alone, but by the united efforts of all concerned. As members of the S.A.C. no one will regret the avoidance of Switzerland more than the members of this Association.

We feel sure that all the members of the Association will realise, with regret, that Mr. W. M. Roberts’ term of office, as President, ceased on December 31st, 1933. During the whole period of his Presidency, Mr. Roberts has been most assiduous in the work, and everyone who has been brought into contact with him cannot fail to have been struck by the extremely efficient way in which he carried out his duties. During his term of office the Association has gone through a very difficult time, owing to this country going off the gold standard; and in view of this, it is hardly to be expected that our members should have increased, but there is no doubt that it has been a great achievement that we have had no appreciable falling off. The whole of the Association owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Roberts for his unfailing efforts on their behalf, and we 15 are extremely glad he has consented to become a Vice-Presi­ dent and give us the benefit of his advice and counsel in the future. We have, however, found a very worthy successor in Mr. A. N. Andrews. Mr. Andrews was one of the original members of the Association when it first started, and he held the post of Hon. Secretary for no less than seventeen years— from 1912 to 1928 inclusive; from 1929 to 1932 he was Hon. Librarian, and in 1932 he was elected a Vice-President. We all wish him a very successful term of office.

We have to record with great regret the death of two of our members on the mountains during August. Mr. E. V. Slater, who was killed in the accident on Piz Roseg, had been a member both of the Alpine Club and of the Association for a great many years. The reason for the accident can never be certainly known, as the whole party perished. There is quite a possibility that it was due to falling stones, though it is equally possible that the balling of snow on crampons was the cause. Having regard to the experience, the skill, and the known caution of the party, and the fact that the fall occurred at a place which presented no difficulties to competent mountaineers, a purely accidental cause seems mucE more likely than a mountaineering blunder. Mr. Slater was one of the senior house masters at Eton, and his loss will be very deeply felt, both in scholastic and mountaineering circles. Mr. R. P. Verschoyle was killed in the descent from the Rocher de l’Aigle Hut to La Grave, after a successful traverse of the Meije. He was coming over the rocks of the Bee de l’Homme by himself, his companion having hurried on to get to the telephone office before it closed. There is reason to think that he had some trouble with his ruck-sack, which caused him to overbalance. At the time of his death he was a law tutor at Birmingham University; and it was always a matter of regret to him that he lived too far from London to attend our meetings regularly. He was a brilliant man, a keen mountaineer and a charming companion, and we all deplore his loss. 1G A further account of these two accidents is contained in the Alpine Journal for November, 1933.

The monthly discussions, which were started in October, 1930, were continued throughout the past year, and have now become not merely one of the regular but one of the most popular features in the life of the Association. All except three were illustrated by lantern slides. A detailed list is set out below : — January nth—“Activities of the Association ” (General). February 8th—“ Norway ” (Dr. N. S. Finzi and J. J. Hoddinott). March 8th—“ The Austrian Tyrol ” (J. E. Montgomrey). June 14th—“ The Dolomites ” (Robert Corry). July 12th—“ The Maritime Alps ” (R. P. Mears). October nth—“Artificial Aids to Climbing” (The President). November 8th—Reports by members of their 1933 season. December 6th—“The comparative merits of guided and guideless climbing ” (Dr. H. L. R. Dent, Dr. T. G. Longstaff and others). Once again we would like to remind members that sugges­ tions for future discussions will be always welcome by the Committee.

The attention of members is drawn to the List of Meetings for 1934, which was issued at the end of November and is reprinted elsewhere in this report.

The Committee are much concerned to note the falling off in the attendance at meetings during the past year. Al­ though the numbers at the informal dinners and the monthly discussions have diminished slightly, this perhaps is only to be expected; but on the Ladies’ Nights they show a decrease of 30 per cent.—and this is a serious matter. It has been suggested that perhaps the price hitherto charged (8s. 6d.) is more than some people can at present afford; and the Flotel Great Central have therefore consented to serve a slightly shorter dinner at the price of 7s. 6d. in the hope that the reduction in price may attract a greater number of members. 17 The attendance at the Annual Dinner, however, was more encouraging, the numbers only being a few short of what they were last year.

The Easter Meet was held at Capel Curig from April 13th to April 18th. Nearly 20 members and their friends fore­ gathered at the Royal Hotel. This time we were favoured with exceptionally fine weather; quite a lot of climbing was done, and everyone had a most enjoyable time. A certain amount of time, however, was wasted through the failure of members to make their plans overnight. Although it would be a gross exaggeration to say that the success of the last day of the meet was mainly due to the bullying tactics of the Hon. Secretary on the previous evening, there is certainly room for improvement in this direction. As already announced, the next meet will be held at Fort William from March 29th to April 3rd. Further details will be issued later.

A Joint Meeting was held with the Ski Club of Great Britain on May 3rd. Once again, through the kindness of the Committee of the Alpine Club, we were able to hold it in the Alpine Gallery. The President was in the Chair and 200 people were present. The subject was “Avalanches,” and this was illustrated by lantern slides. Sir Claud Schuster and Sir John Withers (President of the Alpine Club) had promised to be present, but both were at the last moment prevented from attending owing to in­ disposition. The principle adopted was rather different to last year. Mr. G. Seligman read a twenty-minute paper on the structure of snow in reference to its avalanching properties, and the rest of the evening was devoted to the discussion of various points. Messrs. E. S. Herbert, Arnold Lunn, E. C. Richard­ son, N. S. Finzi, A. N. Andrews and Major Culverwell took part. It is understood that several others would have spoken too had there been time. There is no doubt that this procedure is much more suit­ able for a Joint Meeting than the reading of a long paper, and everyone present seemed to think that this was the most 18 successful of tie three Joint Meetings held. Many people expressed the hope that the Meetings would be continued in other years. It would be a good thing if members would put forward one or two suggestions for the subject of a future meeting. The two clubs have invited the members of the Alpine Ski Club to take part in these meetings in future. The next Joint Meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 2nd. Further details will be issued later.

The Annual Swiss Dinner took place this year on August 10th at the Hotel Schweitzerhof, Grindelwald. The Presi­ dent was in the Chair, and over 30 members and friends were present; there were a few speeches and much hilarity of a decorous kind. We entertained the President and two other members of the Grindelwald Section as the guests of the Association. Herr Anneler provided us with a regular feast like he did last year. The Grindelwald Section had the very charming idea of presenting a small framed photograph of one of the Grindel­ wald peaks to each of the Association members and guests. These little gifts were very highly appreciated by all of us who were present. Telegrams were received from members at La Berarde in France, and from Messrs. M. N. Clarke, F. H. Slingsby and E. E. Roberts in Norway—the latter in Norwegian!— sending greetings to the Dinner.

Mr. M. N. Clarke represented the Association at the Dinner of the Midland Association of Mountaineers in Birmingham on March nth. They proved the most perfect hosts, for, in addition to a most excellent dinner, they pro­ vided Mr. Clarke with an extraordinarily interesting lantern lecture on “Climbing in Scotland,” on March 10th, a day with the beagles on March nth to ensure that he should not suffer from loss of appetite in the evening, and an expedition to the Malvern Hills on March 12th; they also provided the- most gorgeous weather. 19 It therefore gave us great pleasure to be able, in some measure, to return their hospitality by inviting their President (Mr. F. G. Brettell) to our Annual Dinner, where, in an excellent speech, he replied to the toast of “ The Alpine Club and Kindred Societies.”

The City Swiss Club once more honoured us by inviting our President to reply to the toast of “The Guests” at their annual banquet in November, where they entertained him right royally. Again we were very pleased to welcome their President (Mr. H. Senn) to our Annual Dinner on November 22nd. We consider it a great privilege to be on such friendly terms with the City Swiss Club, and we value this connec­ tion with Switzerland very highly.

We were very pleased to be able to welcome Mr. Reginald Graham, who is one of our Honorary Members, as a guest to the Annual Dinner. Mr. Graham has had a long illness which he has borne with great fortitude, and we were all delighted to see that he is at last able to get about again. We shall hope to see more of him during this year.

Two of our members—Messrs. Hugh Ruttiedge and F. S. Smythe—took part in the last Everest Expedition. We had been hoping to be able to congratulate them on reaching the summit, but they were defeated by the weather and we can only wish them better luck next time. We were proud to be able to entertain Mr. Ruttiedge at the Annual Dinner; Mr. Smythe, however, was unfortunately unable to attend.

We should like to congratulate Mr. C. S. Crossman on his appointment as a Judge of the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice.

We have received a message from the Hungarian Tourist Club sending us good wishes for 1934.

The Hon. Librarian gratefully acknowledges a legacy of books bequeathed by the late Prof. C. M. Thompson: a gift of Pocket Guides, the property of the late E. R. Taylor: 20 13 Volumes “Materiaux Pour L’Etudes Des Glaciers” given by the Alpine Club and a missing number of the Fell & Rock Climbing Club Journal presented by that Club. In addition, a number of books have been added to the Library by pur­ chase with the part proceeds of the sale of surplus books and by exchange with other Clubs.

Whilst notices and reviews of mountaineering books and club journals are not a feature of and have no regular place in our Annual Report, we must offer our hearty congratula­ tions to The Ski Club of Great Britain upon the appearance during the year of the fiftieth number of “Ski Notes and Queries.” We should particularly like to congratulate the Hon. Editor, Mr. Seligman, to whom the thanks of all mountain lovers are due for his untiring efforts to promote understanding and maintain friendly liaison between all sections of mountaineers, whether skiers or non-skiers. The stamp of editorial efficiency is well marked in this very interesting number.

It is almost a unique affair when one of our members writes an article in “ Les Alpes,” but there was one by H. B. Thompson in the October number on his ascent of the Bietschhorn with F. S. Smythe.

Members are invited to avail themselves of the “ Hotel Book ” (which will be found in the bureau in the Club Room) for recording their comments on the various hotels which they may have come across in the course of their travels. This book is intended to be used both for com­ mendation and for commination.

We should like in future Lists of Members to make a special note of those possessing the Veteran’s Badge. We should be very glad if those members who have it would notify the Hon. Secretaries.

We should again like to take this opportunity of expressing our great appreciation of the hospitality which has been extended to us by our friends of the Ladies Alpine Club dur­ ing the past year. They have again sent us tickets for most 21 of their lectures, and these were greatly appreciated by those of our members who went; they also sent us tickets for their excellent exhibition of Alpine paintings. This year again they invited several of our officers to their annual dinner. We were very pleased to be able to welcome the officers of the Ladies Alpine Club to our Ladies Night Dinner last March, and we are again very much looking forward to having the pleasure of their company on February 28th.

SUMMER HOLIDAYS 1934. The Hon. Secretaries will be glad to hear from any members who wish for help in making up parties for the Alps or elsewhere. It is not possible for the Association officials to organise parties, but they are quite prepared to put mem­ bers in touch with one another when they can, and this has often been done in the past. The monthly dinners for those who can attend them are, of course, an admirable opportunity for making summer arrangements, and if members who are short of climbing companions will acquaint the Secretaries beforehand, something can often be done in the way of intro­ ductions at one of the dinners. It is desirable that communications on this subject should be sent early, not later than the first half of July, as the Secretaries may themselves be away. It is hoped that beginners in particular will avail themselves of the help of the officials of the Association in any matters connected with holiday plans; we have often been able in the past to give advice about guides or districts to enquirers, and to suggest plans. Sunday Walks.—If members are desirous of arrang­ ing a training walk at any time, the Hon. Secretaries will always be very glad to put them in touch with others simi­ larly inclined, whenever possible. Such members should communicate with one of the Hon. Secretaries not later than the previous Wednesday.

INSURANCE AGAINST ACCIDENTS. As most people have by now realised, every member of the S.A.C. is insured against accidents, an addition having 22 been made to the annual subscription for this purpose. In 1929 the procedure was changed. The sum payable at death was formerly 10,000 francs. This sum has now been altered and is different for some sections. Seventeen sections agreed to pay an extra five francs per annum to secure 10,000 francs, but the other sections were only willing to raise the levy by one franc. The latter sections are consequently only insured up to 8,000 francs.

By special arrangement with the Central Committee, Members of the Association are now insured against accidents while climbing in England, Scotland and Wales in the same manner as when they are climbing in the Alps.

THE ANNUAL DINNER.

The Annual Dinner was held on Wednesday, November 22nd, 1933, at the Hotel Great Central. The President was in the Chair, and 88 members and guests were present. The guests of the Association were: His Excellency the Swiss Minister (Monsieur C. R. Paravicini); The Right Hon. Lord Wright of Durley, P.C.; The Hon. Secretary of the Alpine Club (Mr. Sidney Spencer); The President of the Midland Association of Mountaineers (Mr. F. G. Brettell); The Presi­ dent of the City Swiss Club (Mr. H. Senn); Monsieur Vignon (the Manager of the French National Touring Office); Mr. Hugh Ruttledge and Mr. Reginald Graham. The Toast List was as follows : “ The King; The Swiss Confederation,” proposed by Sir Philip Pilditch and replied to by the Swiss Minister; “The Alpine Club and Kindred Societies,” proposed by Dr. A. H. van Scherpenberg, and replied to by Mr. F. G. Brettell; “ The Guests,” proposed by the President and replied to by Lord Wright; and “ The Chairman,” proposed by Mr. A. N. Andrews and replied to by the President. 23
